peter pan "poetry"
If you sit in silence for long enough
everything you refuse to admit comes pouring out
inaudible, but still, it's loud enough
staring out of vehicle windows only leads
to coming to terms with the people you've lost
and realizing you couldn't keep up
when you can't fall asleep, you can't help but think
about all you're fighting and how much you're lying
telling everyone you're getting by just fine
without the people who meant the most in your life
looking through your mind, you will find the words
you no longer let slip off your tongue
'cause it's over and done with and everyone is tired
of your inability to cut your losses
so lean back, breathe deep and admit defeat
when you look at the world on a cloudy day
it's like living in a film shot in shades of gray
and you don't want to be in Kansas anymore.
